Chapter 131: Top-Notch Green Tea

Since Yan Jiaoshou began teaching, the number of students who have successfully graduated from his class has never exceeded three; many students, unable to bear the pressure, have been driven to break down and drop out or switch majors.

The school has also intervened to mediate, but Yan Jiaoshou has always stuck to his principle, believing that unqualified is unqualified; in his mind, letting students who are not proficient in medicine treat patients is tantamount to playing with human lives!

Therefore, over the years, no student has wanted to be assigned to Yan Jiaoshou's class; the counselor doesn't know how Su Ruo offended the Education Director, but it's obvious the Director is doing this to deliberately force Su Ruo out, making her quit on her own.

The counselor knows how difficult it is for a girl to get into Jingda, so she feels great sympathy for Su Ruo, but she is powerless to help.

The counselor brought Su Ruo to the classroom at the end of the hallway and said, "This is the room."

After thanking her, Su Ruo called out "Report!" and entered, seeing a sixty- or seventy-year-old old man standing sternly on the podium.

However, unlike other classrooms, this one had only a scattering of ten or so students, and Su Ruo felt that there were rather few people in the room.

After Su Ruo explained her purpose, Yan Jiaoshou indicated with his gaze that she should sit down and begin class.

Su Ruo casually found a seat, took out paper and pen, and began to listen attentively; at that moment, Su Ruo did not notice the sympathetic glances the ten or so other students in the room were casting her way.

Although they didn't know why Su Ruo had been assigned here, they assumed the outcome couldn't be good; anyone with even a little influence would not be placed in Iron-faced Yanluo's class.

After Su Ruo sat down, Yan Jiaoshou continued lecturing; those obscure and difficult traditional Chinese medicine concepts would be overly hard for a beginner, and if Su Ruo were truly just an ordinary student, she wouldn't even be able to understand, let alone study.

But during this period, Su Ruo had been studying traditional Chinese medicine knowledge with the system; the knowledge Yan Jiaoshou lectured on might be too difficult for others, but for Su Ruo it was not unfamiliar.

Moreover, the knowledge recorded in the system is rather stiff, but hearing it spoken by the old man before her immediately gave Su Ruo a completely different feeling.

Most importantly, Yan Jiaoshou not only lectures but also shares his own insights and experience, telling Su Ruo how to handle various patients for better effect and to alleviate their suffering to the greatest extent.

Su Ruo studied earnestly, recording everything Yan Jiaoshou said in detail in her notebook; she was learning as if starving and thirsty, knowing that Yan Jiaoshou must be a great master, and to learn from such a teacher she felt she had struck gold.

The old man had originally thought Su Ruo was just sent by the school to make up numbers, but seeing her study earnestly, he couldn't help but feel a hint of relief.

At the very least, Su Ruo's attitude toward learning is good; for someone studying medicine, if they shy away from hardship and cannot endure loneliness, unable to bear any bitterness, they simply cannot learn.

Yan Jiaoshou lectured nonstop for a whole class; Su Ruo listened with utmost concentration, not even noticing when the class would end, until Yan Jiaoshou announced there would be a test!

The classroom instantly filled with wails; everyone said Yan Jiaoshou was the school's notorious Living Yan King, and indeed the reputation was deserved—who has a test on the first day of school?

Only Su Ruo remained calm and composed; thanks to the system's support, she could basically achieve total recall, so while other students feared the exam, Su Ruo was not afraid—on the contrary, she felt eager to test herself, wanting to see whether her medical skill had improved.

At that moment, the Education Director stood outside the door; he had come to watch Su Ruo make a fool of herself—Su Ruo, aren't you impressive! So he assigned her to the school's strictest, most difficult professor, just to see how arrogant she could remain in the future.

Even a student dared openly to defy him, this director; he will certainly make Su Ruo pay a price!

Amid the students' wails, Su Ruo was instead the calmest one, causing Yan Jiaoshou to involuntarily glance at her twice more.

Regardless of how well Su Ruo studies, at least her psychological quality is extraordinary.

Because it was a makeshift exam, Yan Jiaoshou wrote the questions on the blackboard; these questions basically covered the material he had lectured on in class.

As long as one had listened attentively in class, they might not get everything right, but they could basically answer adequately; however, to achieve excellence, it depends on talent.

If one lacks talent, doesn't put in effort after class, and still doesn't pay attention during lectures, they're basically doomed.

Upon seeing the questions Yan Jiaoshou had set, Su Ruo's lips curled into a smile; the content he had lectured on during class flashed quickly through her mind.

Furthermore, after each question, Su Ruo would add her own doubts and insights.

Among the students with frowns and sighs, Su Ruo undoubtedly stood out, and as a result she also earned some eye-rolls from students who thought she was putting on an act.

They all thought Su Ruo was just putting on a show; they couldn't solve the questions the professor set, and Su Ruo, a newcomer who had only been there a day, how could she possibly do them?

But Yan Jiaoshou was standing on the podium watching them at that moment, so even if they were dissatisfied inside, they dared not show it; they could only lower their heads and continue answering.

Until the school bell rang, Su Ruo's answer sheet was densely filled, but her handwriting was neat and elegant—just looking at it was pleasing to the eye.

Those who had handed in their papers could leave.

Su Ruo took her lunchbox and headed toward the cafeteria, but she had taken only a few steps when someone stopped her, a person looking dissatisfied and saying, "Newcomer, what are you pretending for?"

Su Ruo hadn't expected to encounter campus bullying on her first day of school; she stared coldly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

They actually hadn't intended to do anything to Su Ruo; they simply found her displeasing to look at, after all, they were still students, not real troublemakers.

The atmosphere grew tense for a moment; then one male student stepped forward and said, "We're not going to do anything—we're just your senior fellow disciples, and we have some things to tell you: behave yourself honestly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Su Ruo's face grew even colder: "Then how do you intend to be rude to me?"

Su Ruo clenched her fists; it had been a long time since she'd hit someone, and she really felt an urge to do so. Since these people had come to her of their own accord, she would not be polite—she would use them to establish her authority.

Su Ruo didn't care whether they were senior fellows or not; once they provoked her, she would beat whoever it was without hesitation.

But just as Su Ruo was about to strike, a voice suddenly interrupted her.

Feng Xiran walked over and said, "Su Ruo, so you're here! I've been looking for you for a long time, asking many people before I found out you'd been transferred to Yan Jiaoshou's class."

I've heard Yan Jiaoshou is fierce; were you transferred there because you offended the Education Director yesterday? Otherwise, if you pleaded with the Education Director, he might possibly transfer you back.

After Feng Xiran finished speaking, she seemed to notice the crowd blocking Su Ruo's front, and she asked in surprise, "What's going on with you guys?"

Su Ruo directly rolled her eyes, disdainfully pulling her arm out of Feng Xiran's hand, and said, "What is this, some top-grade Biluochun?"

Now everyone knew Su Ruo had offended the petty, grudge-holding Education Director, so they acted with increasing abandon.
